Rabada to Tladi Bokako, out Bowled! What a ball! That could've uprooted the stumps of V***t K***i. Tailender? Oh please. An off-cutter that grips in the surface, Tladi Bokako is through with the cross-batted glance, trying to work it away into the on-side and it just clips the leg-bail. Only the 'keeper seems to have noticed that it's bowled - and NOW they celebrate. Bowled out, are the Heat, with 9 balls to spare. Tladi Bokako b Rabada 0(1)

Rabada to Kyle Abbott, out Caught by Hendricks! Pace off, Rabada on! Bangs it into a short of length and angles it into the upper half of the body, pokes it away uppishly, trying to protect his body, and pops a simple catch to Hendricks at short cover. 10 balls to survive for the last pair. Kyle Abbott c Hendricks b Rabada 7(6) [4s-1]

Olivier to Kyle Abbott, FOUR, full and just outside off, Kyle Abbott throws his hands at it, gets it off the outer half towards third man for four as the fielder makes a mess of it in the deep

Olivier to Rashid Khan, out Caught by Christian! This time it's out! A short one outside off, Rashid Khan tries to pull it away, and drag it into the on-side, gets a massive top-edge and skies it away towards mid-off where Christian takes a sitter this time. Rashid Khan c Christian b Olivier 3(6)

Christian to Maharaj, out Bowled! Knocked him over! Pitching on a good length and seaming back in, Maharaj swings through the original line, gets a thick inside edge onto the stumps and they're shattered. Another wicket down. Maharaj b Christian 11(12) [4s-1]

Christian to Maharaj, no ball, FOUR, beam-beam-beamer! Thankfully not a particularly fast one at the body, Maharaj pulls it away towards the deep square leg fence for four. An apology straight away, and all is well...

Harmer to Miller, out Caught by Pongolo!! That chops a few runs off the potential score. That's tossed up on that Verity length a tad wide of off stump, Miller backs away and throws his hands, tries to loft it over cover, ends up slicing it straight to Pongolo at backward point. Miller departs, and that's a big blow at the death for Durban. Miller c Pongolo b Harmer 29(29) [6s-1]

Pretorius to Miller, SIX, out of nowhere! A slower one on a length, Miller backed away and picked the lack of pace, made room, and mowed that over wide long-on for a flat six!

Rabada to Albie Morkel, out Caught by Pongolo!! He's lost his glasses but doesn't spill the catch! A shortish one, without any width angling in from round the wicket, Albie Morkel tries to back away into the on-side and create some width, ends up riding the bounce and handing an easy catch to Pongolo, who is diving forward at point. His sunglasses take a tumble, but he holds on to an impressive low catch. Albie struggle comes to an end. Albie Morkel c Pongolo b Rabada 3(10)

Pretorius to Sarel Erwee, out Lbw!! He was always one false stroke away from falling here, but Erwee's done more than 80% of his side's job thus far with this approach. He walks across, looks to once again go over short fine leg with his lapped scoop, but misses it big time. The only thing that could've saved him here was the impact, but that too was firmly on off. Sarel Erwee lbw b Pretorius 62(39) [4s-9 6s-1]

Christian to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, gets innovative. Walks inside the line, staying deep in the crease as he sits down and scoops it over short fine. Very smart stuff given that there's nobody behind out there

Pongolo to Sarel Erwee, 1 run, full on middle, turned away softly to short fine leg, where the presence of Gayle means there's a single there, always. And it's Erwee's fifty too

Harmer to Zondo, out Caught&Bowled!! Messy catch, but that'll do just as well. And yet again, the wickets keep tumbling at the other end. So Zondo goes on a knee, looking to slog-sweep, but only gets a top-edge, going high up in the air and Harmer in settling under the swirler falls over his stumps, but somehow keeps his concentration. Zondo c and b Harmer 0(1)

Olivier to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, low full toss. Erwee manages to get under it, mowing it rather agriculturally over cow corner

Olivier to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, corrects on the other side of the wicket now. Erwee arches back, opens up his bat face and runs it away wide of the lone wide slip

Olivier to Sarel Erwee, leg byes, FOUR, big appeal. Big. So Erwee flicks, misses with the slant getting big to come in on the padsand strike Erwee in front of off. My my, it looked close, real close

Olivier to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, he isn't going to be bothered by the wickets tumbling around, and keeps going about his merry way. Plonks forward, swinging across the line and tonking it well over mid-on, one-bounced

Christian to Bavuma, out Lbw!! He goes on an aimlesss flick after getting down the pitch to a pretty straight delivery on middle. Ends up executing all over it, and is trapped low on the front leg in front. Plumb. Bavuma lbw b Christian 1(4)

Rabada to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, and he's leaking some more - 18 off it. Picks out the slower one in the slot and lofts it over mid-on, yes, in the arc

Rabada to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, filthy high full toss in his overcorrection. Erwee slaps, into the pitch, past Rabada's outstretched palm and straight down the ground

Rabada to Sarel Erwee, SIX, nothing streaky about this one. The short one sits up and smoked, flat-batted well over cow corner, flat

Rabada to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, heaved uppishly across the line, slicing a streaky-looking top-edge but then, this is the powerplay. And there's nobody at long-on

Olivier to Sarel Erwee, FOUR, straying down leg, with a friendly long hop length to help as Erwee swivels, gets just enough glove on his pull, very fine

Olivier to van Wyk, out Caught by Gayle!! Quick bumper, skidding on quicker than van Wyk had expected as he comes out with a compulsive pull in response - getting hurried into it and only managing a top-edge, ballooning up straight to short mid-wicket. Gayle isn't dropping there, not even in his jetlagged state. van Wyk c Gayle b Olivier 1(3)
